A new generation of fenestration
Ben Brocklesby, director at Origin, the UK manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors, discusses the brand’s latest product launches and why they are revolutionising the fenestration industry.
In today’s competitive market, installers constantly have to seek new ways to differentiate themselves. Homeowners, with a growing desire for modern aesthetics and exceptional performance, are no longer satisfied with ‘standard’ and installers need to be able to recommend products that meet this demand.
This is where Origin’s latest product – the innovative OB-36+ – can help set your offering apart from the rest.
The OB-36+ isn’t just another door. Its sleek bi-fold, French or single door design is underpinned by unparalleled performance and quality.
Tailored aesthetics
The OB-36+ is available in two collections from Origin, the Soho and the Contemporary. With sightlines of just 36mm, both benefit from less frame and more glazing. Whilst the Contemporary offers a refined look with large expanses of glass and modern hardware, the Soho creates a chic finish with sought-after glazing bars and knurled handles.
Thermal efficiency
Homeowners aren’t just prioritising aesthetics; they are also focused on performance. The new OB-36+ has been meticulously designed to boast superior performance, exceeding the requirements of the 2025 Future Homes Standard a full year early, achieving U-Values as low as 0.8 W/m2K. For the homeowner, this will keep household bills low and serve as a unique selling point when discussing projects.
Unmatched security and safety
Homeowners deserve to feel safe in their homes. The OB-36+ delivers on this promise thanks to the inclusion of a robust, 8-point locking system and 3-star British Standard Kitemark locking barrel. The latter offers unparalleled security against forced entry, including picking, bumping, and drilling.
As well as security, safety is critical. Especially for young families. The new external door features finger-safe gaskets to prevent fingers from getting trapped when the doors are closing. This means installers can confidently recommend the safest doors on the market.
Fully bespoke
Origin’s full line-up of products are made bespoke in the UK from the highest grade aluminium, meeting customer’s exact specifications. They can choose the size, configuration, colour, and hardware that best suits their home, preferences, and style.
With over 150 RAL colours to choose from and almost endless configuration possibilities, installers can help homeowners easily design a product to match every property type from the ultra-modern to heritage.
What’s more, the external door is available on a two-week lead time and comes with an industry-leading guarantee of up to 20-years.
The OB-36+ Contemporary and Soho are now available to Origin Partners.
